Premier League Quick Preview: Nottingham Forest Vs Arsenal
Arsenal can inflict a third successive league defeat on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Check out our BetBuilderAI predictions for Nottingham Forest Vs Arsenal this weekend.
Forest are down in 14th with five points from six games, a run of three defeats in their last three despite out-shooting opponents in every one of those games - their 24 shots against both Coventry and Crystal Palace produced just one goal between them.
Arsenal are second on 15 points, unbeaten in five with the division’s best defensive record outside Manchester City - their only blemish all season was a 3-0 defeat away at Brighton, sandwiched between four straight wins either side.
Despite being the visiting team, Mikel Arteta's side start as overwhelming favourites on UK betting sites.
Forest Keep Shooting, Arsenal Keep Shutting Doors
Forest have registered 10+ shots in every league game this season, including three separate 20+ efforts, yet have scored just five goals all season - a conversion problem as much as anything else.
Arsenal’s defence has allowed 10+ shots against them in four of six, but have conceded only five goals in total, the joint-best mark in the league.
Arsenal’s own attack hasn’t needed volume - they’ve won four of their six games while being out-shot on occasion, relying instead on efficiency in the moments that matter.
Cards Have Been A Constant For Both
Forest have picked up a card in every single game this season, and their opponents have drawn 10+ fouls from them in all six as well - a genuinely physical side regardless of the scoreline.
Arsenal’s opponents have also been booked in every game, with three or more shown in five of their six.
Both teams to receive a card is 2/5 on betting apps, while 2+ cards for each team is 2/1.

Forest haven't beaten Arsenal in their last six meetings and their form suggests that winless streak continues at the City Ground.
Martin Zubimendi was the unexpected hero last season scoring twice in the Gunners' 3-0 win at the Emirates in September, before a goalless draw followed in January.
If you have a free bet to use, why not try it on both teams not to score which has been a winning bet in the last four meetings.
